Please note that the majority of our items are vintage and therefore have tales to tell unless stated otherwise. Therefore, please look at pictures, descriptions and measurements provided as they give you the best idea of the story this item has to tell.
* Please note that when you buy a vintage product, the dimensions may vary slightly from a new one depending on previous care and storage.
Q: What typically fits inside this Fendi Sunshine Tote? A: With approximate measurements of 41 cm (W) × 34 cm (H) × 17 cm (D), this large, structured tote comfortably carries a 13–15‑inch laptop in a slim sleeve, A4 documents, a large smartphone, long (continental) wallet, keys, sunglasses in a slim case, a cosmetics pouch, a small water bottle and a compact umbrella. Capacity is generous thanks to the squared silhouette; to protect the suede lining and keep items organised, we recommend using pouches or a bag organiser. Compare your items to the Measurements shown or ask us for a tailored fit check for this exact piece.
Q: Will it fit a laptop and is it suitable as a work or travel tote? A: Yes—most 13–15‑inch laptops fit comfortably due to the bag’s height and width. For daily commuting or travel, place the laptop in a slim protective sleeve and keep valuables in a pouch as the bag has an open‑top design. Its structured build and flat base make it practical for office use and as a cabin carry‑on personal tote; airline rules vary, so please check your carrier’s allowance.
Q: What are the carrying options? Is there a shoulder strap? A: Sunshine totes are designed with dual tortoiseshell‑effect plexiglass top handles for hand or crook‑of‑arm carry. Some editions include a detachable shoulder strap (particularly small/medium sizes), but this specific piece does not list a long strap under Accessories/Measurements. With an approx. 11 cm handle drop, most users will find shoulder carry snug, especially over outerwear. If you’d like advice on compatible Fendi straps, we’re happy to help.
Q: How secure is the closure and what does the interior look like? A: This model has an open‑top design without a zip. The interior is finished in tonal suede with a spacious single compartment (see our photos for the exact layout on this piece). For added security, use zipped pouches for small valuables and keep the bag upright while commuting.
Q: Are the tortoiseshell‑effect plexiglass handles durable? Any care tips? A: The plexiglass handles are sturdy for everyday use but should be treated with care to avoid scratches or stress. Clean with lukewarm water and a very soft, non‑abrasive cloth; avoid alcohol, ammonia and other harsh cleaners, as these can cause clouding or micro‑cracks. Keep away from high heat and prolonged direct sunlight, and avoid over‑packing to reduce strain on the handle mounts.
Q: How heavy is the bag and how does it carry when full? A: The bag itself is relatively light for its size and structure; weight mainly comes from contents. Packed with a laptop and documents, it can feel substantial over longer periods—common for large leather totes. Many users find it most comfortable hand‑carried or placed on a suitcase handle when travelling.
Q: What materials and finish does this piece have? A: This tote is crafted in caramel brown leather with a bold heat‑stamped “FENDI ROMA” logo, gold‑tone hardware and dual tortoiseshell‑effect plexiglass top handles. The interior is tonal suede. Made in Italy.
Q: How should I care for the leather and hardware? A: Wipe leather gently with a soft, dry cloth after use. Condition smooth leather sparingly with a high‑quality neutral product (test first on a discreet area). Avoid contact with moisture, oils, hand sanitiser and dark denim (to prevent colour transfer), and store away from direct sunlight. Hardware can show hairline scratches with normal use—avoid resting metal directly against leather in storage. Store the bag lightly stuffed, upright, in its dust bag; keep handles supported so they don’t press into the leather.
Q: What accessories are included with this item? A: As listed under Accessories, this piece comes with its box, dust bag and booklet. If an accessory isn’t mentioned there, it isn’t included—feel free to ask us to confirm what’s in the set for this exact bag.
Q: Where are Fendi markings/codes usually found, and how do you authenticate? A: Modern Fendi bags typically feature interior branding and may include an RFID/microchip tag (earlier pieces often had serial numbers and, in some eras, hologram stickers). Placement and format vary by model and year, and not every bag will display the same elements. At A Retro Tale, all items undergo rigorous multi‑point authentication of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps/codes and overall construction—we stand behind the authenticity of every piece we sell.
Q: What condition is this item in? A: This specific bag is graded Very Good overall, with light signs of use. We note light scratches on the back of the bag, a clean interior with light use, and shiny hardware with light surface marks. Please review the photos and Condition notes for full details.
